Hard to find if you live in Alaska

I did a lot of on line research and for output vs noise this appeared to be the best. However none of the national chains carried it. Was able to get it through Power Equipment Direct. In reviews I saw a lot of comments about no indication of needing to connect the battery first. They listened and it now has a tag indicating that. Eco mode definitely reduces the decibels however have yet to test it under load.

Hoping for a reliable unit after rocky start.

Unit came with automatic choke issues, as detailed in previous reviews. Mine was no exception. I have a lifetime of small engine repair experience. After tearing unit down was able to identify the poor connection on starter module. Works fine now. Would be an issue if new owner was expecting unit to start and run without two hours of shop time invested. Zip tied wire to avoid strain on connection, connected to starter module, and applied a drop of hot glue to connection retention clip to secured during any vibration. Looking forward to many years of service. Plugged in my 26' TT, ran AC and all appliances, generator did it's job. Thanks.

iGen5000DF

I shopped around specifically for a Dual Fuel Inverter generator with a remote electric start to use at my primitive campsite with a 5th wheel trailer. After considering several brands, I chose the Westinghouse iGen5000DF. I received the product in under a week, which I felt was very good considering it was very close to Thanksgiving and the ensuing Christmas shipping time period. I added the enclosed oil and followed the directions to break it in at my house, then loaded it into the back of my SUV and took it to my land and camper for Thanksgiving weekend. The generator is very quiet and performed flawlessly for the 3 day weekend. We have used it for several weekends since and love the remote stop/start that we can use from inside the camper. I did the first oil change at camp per the owners manual and was very pleased with oil color and consistency coming out. Overall, very pleased with the generator and my decision to purchase.

Great looking machine.

Bought this unit after my 2 Firman generators died. Saw it was highly rated so picked it up on sale. Solid build quality. Love the fact that it's a 3.4 gallon tank too. Can keep the A/c or heater running all night long in our trailer. Looking to take it out soon to test it out

Lifesaver for someone with Multiple Sclerosis

I purchased this to have an easier starting generator and I have to say it was a great purchase. It is quiet running for a generator, that quick start with key fob is excellent seeing as though I have MS and have a hard time with a regular pull start generator. It was one if the best buys I coukd have ever made

Easy to set up and start

It's the Westinghouse oven 5000DF. Easy set up , book repeated a lot but had a quick set up list for set up after reading the manual.Only used once but ran my 30amp camper , using the furnace, microwave, tv, lights and dehumidifier. Ran strong, durable. So far a good value for the money. The oil access is hard to see when trying to fill it because it's so low to the ground, took a while. Strong generator. Very easy to move with the telescoping handle and wheels. Easy to use with propane.

Quiet, started first try right out of the box

Purchased this generator online based entire on the reviews. This unit replaces a 4500 watt Champion. The Champion would fit in the back of my GMC Serria when the wheel kit was not present. The iGen5000df fits WITH the wheels, which is a big plus for loading and unloading. The iGen5000df will be used for RVing boondocking. Being quieter than the Champion, the wife is happy. Being lighter (approx 15 lbs), having built in wheels and quieter, I'm happy.

Finest user friendly engineered design

I haven't ever seen a finer engineered device with the user and maintenance as priority. Any and all necessary access points are located for ease of use. Shipment includes everything (except fuel) necessary for a smooth and quick start up, The owners manual also focused on novice understanding. The engineering department deserves more than 5 stars.

Runs quiet and starts easily

We bought this generator as a 3rd power source option for our travel trailer. It runs very quietly and even under load is not as loud as other generators. We love the remote start and the capability to be wired in to auto-engage if our battery system is running too low. It is also capable of charging our tow vehicle if we are in a pinch for power.

Quality Product

I have owned other generators that worked fine for their intended use. They did not have remote start and one was extremely loud. I have purchased a larger fifth wheel RV & needed a inverter generator that has sufficient wattage to run the air conditioner and other electrical appliances. Two of my friends have the Westinghouse iGen 5000C inverter generators, which are quiet and able to supply the required wattage to run everything in their trailers. These features plus the remote start, the reliability of these inverter generators and Westinghouse quality convinced me to make this purchase with confidence that I made the correct choice.
